Thank you.  I'm actually just a photography enthusiast who appreciates good gear.  Here are some bigger images of the same thing, for the hell of it.

For the really technical you can see in the out of focus points of light they are shaped like pentagons... which makes the shooting lens the....? (canon gear of couse)

PS thanks for everyone's attention, item is sold, The answer is, I used canon 50mm 1.8 to take the pics, as can be seen with the pentagonal out of focus points of light.  As if you cared... :)

Lol.  50mm 1.8, nifty fifty, saves money by having fewer aperture blades, of course there is the canon 50mm f1.4, canon 50mm f1.2, canon 50mm 2.5 macro.  More money if ya wanna spend it, more blades.

Honestly, I had no preference for canon over nikon, although they got me early with the digital rebel which was darn affordable at first...  Now they have me speaking canonese, understanding the canon lens lexicon, it's too much mental space to understand the nikon landscape too.
